Figure 13 Council information regarding potential disposal areas
This figure was compiled by Council based on several anecdotal information sources and observations by
the neighbouring Council cemetery manager Mr Troy Andreassen, who was interviewed on 24 March
2023 to confirm aspects of the provided information.
It is believed that the two areas of disposal are historical that occurred in the 1950’s and 60’s, which
accords with air photo observations of soil disturbance and potential infilling during this period. It is noted
that the air photos indicate additional potential for rubbish disposal activities to the west of the rectangular
area, up until the western site boundary. The northern night soil disposal area was reportedly performed
within trenches excavated into the natural ground.
3.16.2. MRS PATRICIA SPICER
As a former owner of the site from 1973 to 1999 and current resident living adjacent to the site, Mrs
Patricia Spicer has some 50 years of local knowledge and indicated the following during the interview
conducted at her home on 18 October 2023:
• Prior to owning the site freehold in 1973, they took over the special lease from Mr Bichel in the early
1970s and were aware of the prior use of the site for waste disposal.
• They constructed their house over the south-western corner of the larger Lot, and then around 1976
subdivided this 4,764m2 portion as Lot 1 SP118458 from the larger portion of land, being the subject
site.
